Nooooooooooooo not at all, well some things yeah i guess but the majority no.

How do you break aluminum alumina bond?
I'm not quite sure what you mean because alumina is a compound (aluminum oxide or Al2O3) and aluminum is an element. Therefore, there isn't a bond per se from aluminum to alumina... just aluminum-aluminum bonds and aluminum-oxygen bonds. I do know that alumina will dissolve in a strong base solution, such as KOH or NaOH, and so if you have a layer of alumina on an aluminum sheet, a strong base solution will remove it. Also, a strong acid will dissolve the aluminum. (I do have to admit I'm not entirely sure what the effect of a strong base on aluminum and a strong acid on alumina is, though... and that might be a problem... hmm...)
Aluminum reacts with oxygen to produce aluminum oxide?
Aluminum reacts with oxygen.Aluminum will burn in oxygen if it is powdered; however, the strong oxide layer on the aluminum tends to inhibit the reaction.If you dust aluminum powder into a Bunsen flame, you get white sparkles which leads to the formation of White aluminum oxide.The chemical reaction is: 4Al + 3O2 -----> 2Al2O3Aluminium oxide is a chemical compound of aluminum and oxygen with the chemical formula Al2O3. It is the most commonly occurring of several aluminum oxides, and specifically identified as aluminum(III) oxide. It is commonly called alumina, and may also be called aloxide oraloxite,
Why does iron corrode in water and aluminum doesn't?
Rust is a redox-reaction, meaning it is a reation where electrons are exchanged. Water would be the oxidation-agent and iron and aluminum the reduction-agents. As can be seen on the table of standard cell potensials, aliminium is a strong reduction-agent and water is too weak to induce oxidation. Iron, however, is not as strong, and can undergo oxidation.
Where can aliminium be found?
Metallic aluminum is produced commercially from the mineral bauxite, a hydrated oxide of aluminum. The top five bauxite producing countries (in 2007) are Australia, China, Brazil, India and Guinea. Metallic aluminum is smelted from bauxite by electrolysis, which is very energy-intensive. Combined with the fact that aluminum, more so than any other substance, can be recycled with no degradation in its properties, there is a strong economic incentive to recycle aluminum products. According to the International Aluminum Institute, secondary (recycled) aluminum production was 16 million tonnes in 2006. That can be compared to an estimated 33.4 million tonnes of primary (mined) aluminum production in the same year. So, about a third of the world's aluminum can be found in the recycling stream and two-thirds in the ground.
Why was alloys of aluminium are used to make aircraft bodies instead of pure aluminium?
Pure aluminum isn't used for ANYTHING--even a cola can is made from aluminum alloy. Aerostructures are made from various aluminum alloys chosen for their strength, workability or other desirable characteristics.
What are some characteristics of aluminum?
Aluminum is light, strong, and malleable.

What is a Strong lightweight metal?
aluminum
Aluminum or metal bat?
It depends on how strong you are. Weaker=Metal Stronger=Aluminum
Does aluminum bromide conduct electricity?
Yes it does! Aluminum bromide is an ionic compound and aluminum alone is a very strong conductor.
What metal is used in aircraft construction?
aluminum alloys because aluminum is quite strong for how light it is
Why is aluminum used in car bodies?
Because aluminum is very strong and very light and it is resistant to corrosion
What metals will evolved hydrogen when reacted to strong base?
Aluminum is a silvery metal that will evolve hydrogen gas when reacted with a strong acid. Aluminum will also evolve hydrogen gas as a product of its reaction with a strong acid.
Why are cars made from aluminum?
Because it is strong, light and will not rust.
Why is aluminum used in the construction of passenger aircraft?
It is strong and lightweight.
Can an electromagnet have an aluminum core?
The magnetic field will be not be as strong. It will be weaker.
Why are aroplanes made from aluminum alloy rather than pure aluminum?
Pure aluminum is not strong enough as building material for airplanes. Alloy with Al are stronger.
